Answer:

Before a rollercoaster ride begins, an electric winch winds the cars to the top of the first hill. That can take a while, because some rollercoasters start off nearly 100m (330ft) in the air!

The winch has to use energy to pull the rollercoasters up the hill, but that energy doesn't simply disappear. The rollercoaster cars store it just by being up in the air—and the higher up they are, the more energy they store. They'll use the same energy to race back down the hill when the ride begins. Because they have the ability (or potential) to use in the future energy that was stored in the past, we call the energy they're storing potential energy.

What type of bond would occur between carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

covalent

Explanation:

The carbon and the nitrogen very often form bonds in nature, carbon-nitrogen bonds, which are covalent types of bonds. In fact, the bonds between the carbon and nitrogen are one of the most abundant in the biochemistry and the organic chemistry. The bonds between these two can be double bonds, as well as triple bonds. The carbon-nitrogen bonds have the tendency to be strongly polarized toward the nitrogen.

Compounds X and Y both have the formula C7H14. Both X and Y react with one molar equivalent of hydrogen in the presence of a pal

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

Alkenes undergo hydrogenation to give the corresponding alkanes. Where the structure of the original alkene is unknown, we can deduce the structure of the alkene from the structure of the products obtained when it undergoes various chemical reactions.

Now, the fact that we obtained 2-methylhexane upon hydrogenation and the two compounds had different heats of hydrogenation means that the two compounds were geometric isomers. The original compounds must have been cis-2-methyl-3-hexene and trans-2-methyl-3-hexene.

When reacted with HCl, the same compound C7H15Cl is formed because the stereo chemistry is removed.

However, we know that the trans isomer is more stable than the cis isomer hence the cis isomer always has a higher heat of hydrogenation than the trans isomer. Thus X is cis-2-methyl-3-hexene.
